TV ad wars start in PA 10

Republican 10th CD candidate Chris Hackett has been on the air with radio ads running on WILK for a few weeks now he has the first TV media buy of the race with 2 ads running on cable TV. The first one has a little bio introduction then goes right to the issues.

KAR, when is your boss, Meuser, going to begin running ads? I'm curious to see if he mentions the fines for illegal software use by his company under his direction as told in the newspapers. Is stealing software a platform?

kar and meuser sure don't seem to have any respect for the disabled. first they make money off their backs and tax payers by selling rediculously over priced wheelchairs. then they call themselves heros of the disabled. name one disabled persons group who supports meuser. name one disabled person who supports meuser. there aren't any. it's sickening how meuser's camp keeps exploiting the disabled.

Looks like someone needs to step in here that's not spewing lies. First of all, tj, your comment about "over priced wheelchairs" was interesting. Back that up big guy. Over priced compared to what?? How much are they??? As for "disabled" persons or groups not supporting Meuser where do you get that from??? Another lie. It's funny how the anons come out criticizing Meuser and KAR saying they're going negative when Hackett's boys have been flinging the first mudpies since last year. Then Dave and Chris talk poor Swiderski in to running. Paul comes out criticizing Meuser for being rich while Hackett's in the same tax bracket then this morning Swiderski praises Hackett for his TV ads. Come on Paul, why are you embarressing your family like this? Here are the facts, Dave has been known to use "questionable" tactics in his previous campaign. Dave, isn't it amazing how people running against you can all of a sudden have problems with certain electronic devices????We also know Hackett/Madeira has been all over the blogs since day one. Chris has no personality and anyone who talks to him will agree. Keep trying guys. I'm sure it's only a matter of time till the bag of dirty tricks gets opened.

If the Meuser camp is so concerned about anonymous postings, why doesn't KAR post his bio?

Here's a fact: Power wheelchairs are paid for by the government (you, Mr. Taxpayer) on average between $4,200 and $6,000 (sometimes much higher). Look at Grandma's wheelchair and take a guess what it costs to make. It's the government paying $300 for a hammer all over again. Meuser's hand is in the cookie jar and running for office strictly to keep the sugar cookies coming.

Gort rocks for letting the voices of the people debate this great race!

Anon 4:46- you want KAR to reveal himself but you don't reveal yourself. I don't like Hackett and I have made myself very clear on this point because he is a liar and an opportunist and it is all because of the Presidente Fox issue of paying for him to be here, protesting him to get press, and then lying by saying he did not know. Regarding Meuser- all of you who keep attacking KAR seem to be doing the same thing for Hackett/Maderia. We all now that Dave would do whatever it takes to win an election including cheating, lying, and stealing- and then wrap himself up to be a Christian. Well Tammy Fay Baker and Jim Baker were also the same type of people as Maderia-

Regarding Swiderski- don't buy it that he is a plant for HAckett and I read his explanation for filling bankruptcy and I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. I would rather have him in charge of finances then the self proclaimed financial expert Hackett that was 12 million over budget on the Wilkes Barre Chamber theater project. By the way that was a 30 million dollar project so he was only off by 40%.

Well, I'm a MWMNSSDCR, that's a married white male, non-smoking. social drinking, conservative republican, I'm in my late 50's, but I strive to stay youngish.

I like long walks on the beach, conversations in front of the fire-place, and puppies...who doesn't like puppies?

You know waht else I like? I like candidates who are actually qualified to hold the position they seek.

When candidates talk about job creation & retention, attracting new business ventures to the area, the imporatnce of fiscal esponsibility, I am attracted to those who can honestly point to a record of real accomplishment.

You may not like Dan Meuser, although I doubt that you know or have ever met him, but you're entitled to not like him.

But to ignore, distort, or out-right lie about his record of accomplishment is something I will not allow to go un-challenged.

Dan has never been associated with failure, it's not in his DNA.

You can rest assured that his intention is to send Chris Carney back to whatever it was he was doing before he lucked into his seat in congress.

Look at the facts anon, job creation, full time jobs, not county sponsored part time positions, an ability to attract business to the area, an ability to work with others in Washington to solve problems.

Anyone can stand on the corner and screech about waste & corruption in government.

The hard part is to find ways to improve government from within, finding common ground, resolving issues while maintaining core principles.

I don't see that ability coming from any candidate that has Dave Maderia as an advisor...it's not in "His Holines's" DNA.

It's better to light one lttle candle, than curse the darkness.

Ciao.

P.S., yes a big thanks to Gort for having this site, I enjoy reading the non 10th stuff a lot.

What makes Meuser more qualified than the other candidates? I don't see an advantage in that category. Myself and my fellow local pols take exception to his carpetbagger tactics. He does not have our support. Sorry. Oh, and puppies are annoying and crap on the carpet.

it is amazing that all of you attack KAR for standing up for mueser but you are not willing to tell us your names either. The beautiful thing about a blog is they are anonymous the worst thing about a blog is that you can remain anonymous. It is very clear that there are two sides who go to this blog to insult each other. These new blogs (Eddy the angry elf) are simply creating blogs to attack meuser and you guys say that is all Meuser's guys do. The same thing happened in the Baker campaign and the only similar factor is maderia (his holiness, kar very funny). Dave ran a dirty campaign against lisa and he is doing it again. I will learn about both of them and then make my decision. If any of you think that your rants will get more votes for either side you are crazy.
